EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a religious allegory that depicts two significant events in Christian history: the gathering of the Manna and the Institution of the Eucharist. Created by Federico Fiori, also known as Barocci or Baroccio, during the Italian Renaissance, this pen and ink drawing with chalk wash is a stunning representation of faith and devotion. In this artwork, we witness a scene filled with symbolism and reverence. The central focus is on Jesus Christ breaking bread, symbolizing the institution of the Holy Eucharist. Surrounding him are saints, infants, and children who kneel in veneration. Their presence emphasizes both innocence and spiritual growth within Christianity. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance in this study drawing. From delicate lines to subtle shading techniques heightened with white accents, Barocci captures an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers to another time. Notably present in this allegorical piece is Judas Iscariot, portrayed as a traitor kneeling before Christ while holding a wafer. This inclusion serves as a reminder of betrayal within religious narratives. Overall, this 16th-century masterpiece encapsulates themes such as honouring tradition through holy communion and acknowledging miraculous events like transubstantiation. It invites contemplation on profound theological concepts while showcasing exceptional artistic skill from one of Italy's renowned Renaissance painters.
